Takeaways:
- The increase in fossil fuel prices has resulted in the rise in the cost of synthetic fertilizer, which might be an opportunity for farmers to rethink how they grow their crops.
- Farmers can use biofertilizers and bionutrients (such as manure), natural materials that provide crop nutrition.
- Farmers can also use biostimulants (such as algae) which consist of natural materials that enhance uptake of plant nutrients, reduce crop stress and increase crop growth and quality.
